Nannies in Leichhardt, NSW

Qualified Sleep Consultant, night nanny and 24hr live in baby nanny (Maternity Practitioner). Hi families, I’m Jennifer. I’ve been working with babies, children, and their families for over 24 years, and I still feel just as passionate about it today as I did when I started. Early in my career, I worked as a live-in nanny for families all over the world - sometimes caring for up to five children in one household, from newborns through to teenagers (managing the whole household + all of the children's activities and needs). It was during this time that I discovered my love for working with newborns, then went on to study more about newborn care and sleep consulting. In 2006, I became a fully accredited Maternity Practitioner through the Maternity Nurse Training College at Reading University in the UK. I'm also a qualified Sleep Consultant and Doula. For more than two decades, I have specialised in postnatal care, night nannying, and sleep training for babies aged 0 - 5 years. I’ve had the privilege of living in with thousands of families across more than 60 countries, often supporting them 24/7 during those precious early months. I’ve guided parents through everything from feeding and settling to establishing healthy routines - and in the process, I’ve developed a gentle, hands-on approach that helps even very young babies learn to sleep soundly (often up to 10 hours a night with feeds). This depth of experience has also allowed me to create my own style of sleep training for older babies. My methods are baby-led and flexible - I don’t follow rigid wake windows or strict routines. Instead, I work closely with each family to create a plan that suits their baby’s needs and their parenting style. My programs have supported thousands of families both online and in person, and I currently consult with up to 10 families per week while also continuing to work as a nanny and in-home sleep consultant. Throughout my career, I’ve cared for hundreds of single babies, more than 50 sets of twins, and two sets of triplets. I’ve clocked well over 70,000 hours living in with families, and every experience has taught me something new. Outside of work, I enjoy living a healthy, balanced lifestyle - I love travelling, staying active at the gym, and cooking. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found a meaningful career that allows me to support families during what can often be a stressful time - and help make it feel a little easier.

Hello, I am currently travelling Europe until September - and although I’ve only been gone a week, I’m preplanning work for when I get back. I have been babysitting since I was 16 for a variety of families with a various age range of kids. I have also worked for two years an after school care/holiday programme, so I'm not only qualified in teaching and childcare but am also very knowledgable when it comes to finding fun activities to occupy little minds. I am artsy, I love music, fashion and also have played football (soccer) since I was 5. I am very reliable and extremely enthusiastic about my work in childcare as I plan to be an early childhood teacher later on in my career. I'm looking for any opportunities around Sydney, I have my licence but no car, although I am very capable to get where I need to be and always on time :) I will be back late September and would love to hear from you if I sound like a good fit for your family. I’m also more than happy to do some calls to get to know eachother a bit better whilst I’m away.

I’m a 26 year old qualified primary school teacher with three years of experience, plus a year working in a nursery—so working with children of all ages is second nature to me! I moved to Australia from the UK in December and I am currently taking some time out from teaching. I enjoy working with children and want to continue this out here so nannying is the perfect medium! I plan to stay in Australia for the foreseeable, with 2 and a half more working holiday visa's available to me, and a view of applying for residency in the future. As the eldest daughter of six siblings (including twins I’ve helped care for since birth due to a big age gap), I’ve grown up in a busy, loving household and have always enjoyed being around children. I’m kind, patient, reliable, and bring a warm, nurturing energy to everything I do. I enjoy being active but also enjoy calm when needed. I have a Working With Children Check and can provide references if necessary. I am trained in first aid and CPR, and have had training in anaphylaxis however I do not hold a certificate in this but would be willing to if needed. I’m excited to bring my experience and enthusiasm to a family in need of an extra hand! I am looking for full-time work so please get in touch if you think I'd be a good fit for your family :)

Hi! My name is Destiny — I’m 21 years old, and I’ve been working with children for over 5 years now through both nannying and babysitting. I’ve cared for kids of all ages, from newborns to 7 years old, and I can honestly say working with children is something I truly love and feel passionate about. I’ve supported many families over the years — from helping raise my younger cousins since birth, to caring for the children of close family friends, to long-term nanny roles with private clients. Through these experiences, I’ve built a strong understanding of what children need to feel safe, happy, and supported. I’m a very hands-on and nurturing carer. I love planning creative and educational activities like crafts, games, and outdoor play. I’m confident preparing light meals, helping with routines (like bath or bedtime), and keeping spaces clean and organised. I’m also a huge animal lover and more than happy to help with pets! I hold a current Working With Children Check and Police Check, and I always approach every job with maturity, patience, and a caring attitude. I’m flexible, reliable, and easy to communicate with — and I genuinely enjoy building strong connections with both children and their families. If you’re looking for someone who’s experienced, trustworthy, and genuinely loves what they do, I’d love the opportunity to support your family.

Hi families! My name is Georgia, I've been working as a nanny in New Zealand and Australia for over 12 years. I nanny a beautiful four year old girl and have been with her since she was a newborn. I also work Thursdays and Fridays in a childcare centre. I have multiple great references from families in Sydney and am more than happy to pass them on. I am curious and passionate about children/ babies and their needs and development. I see myself as more than just someone to 'watch the kids' I like to become part of the family and help keep order in the house, someone the children can trust and go to for comfort, someone to educate little ones and look out for their well being and help them learn and grow in a safe environment. I enjoy being involved in children's day to day lives and the bond I get to form with them. I put everything I have into my job and every child I have ever had the pleasure to nanny, I have loved dearly. I have most of my full time nanny experience with children between the ages of newborn and 4 years. I am knowledgeable about all the usual milestones little ones go through during this time (starting solids, crawling, walking, talking, potty training etc) My specific knowledge with newborns includes sleep and settling techniques, reading babies cues, developing a feed/ sleep routine that suits your families needs. In 2025 I will have availability between 2 and 5 days with flexible hours. I have a police check, WWCC, first aid and CPR. That's just a bit about me and my experience, please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have! I look forward to hearing from you soon, Georgia

Hello! My name is Sara and I’m a 30-year-old from sunny Spain, now living the Aussie adventure in beautiful Australia! A few years ago, I worked as an au pair in Germany, taking care of two amazing girls aged 8 and 12. During that time, I helped them with homework, taught them Spanish and English, and came up with all sorts of fun activities — from arts and crafts to outdoor games and baking afternoons. I’m a warm, positive and responsible person who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I love sharing languages and culture, encouraging creativity, and making everyday moments fun and meaningful. I’m always open to new experiences and happy to lend a hand wherever I can — whether it’s childcare, teaching, or just bringing good vibes to a new home!

Hello, I’m Sandra – originally from the Netherlands and currently living in Portugal. I’m a professionally trained nannny and movement coach with over 15 years of experience, and before that, I was a modern ballet dancer. My background in dance deeply influences my approach to working with children – I bring creativity, body awareness, and playfulness into every day. Since 2010, I’ve been supporting families using principles inspired by Montessori, Waldorf, and homeschooling. I’ve worked with children of all ages and abilities, including those with limited mobility, and still stay in touch with some of the kids I cared for more than 10 years ago. I’m a bit older than most au pairs or nannies, but with that comes a wealth of life experience, genuine interest, patience, and a whole lot of love. Why Australia? Because I’ve never been – and I’d love to explore your culture, connect with your way of life, and experience the creative climate. I’m passionate about nature – forests, the sea, animals, the outdoors – and I’d be thrilled to bring that into my work with your family. I’m available from May onward, depending on how quickly we can arrange the necessary paperwork like visas and flights. I’m open to stays ranging from 3 to 12 months. Looking forward to hearing from you! ( waving hand and smile) Warm regards, Sandra

My name is Fabiola (Fabi). I am an Australian Citizen (I have lived in Sydney most of my life and intend to continue residing in Sydney). I have a current Working with Children Check and First Aid & CPR Certification. I am fully vaccinated against COVID 19 as well as against flu and whooping cough. I do not drive, but am very adept at travelling with babies and children on Public Transport. I have a University of Sydney Bachelor of Arts (Honours in Education) degree with a triple major: Psychology/Education/Mathematics (my favourite subject being Developmental Psychology). I have extensive experience as a nanny, babysitter and tutor: positions I have always thoroughly enjoyed. I believe that ensuring children's safety, and respecting them and listening to them is of utmost importance. I have loved and been fascinated by children ever since I can remember. Since I was 15, I have provided both paid and non-paid childcare: I have a natural aptitude for facilitating children's learning in a fun way. I love caring for babies; it is a privilege to be there when they are learning so much: the world we tend to take for granted is so brand new to them …. I delight in the "purity" of children and their behaviour. And when their behaviour is ah… beyond the pale, I take deep breaths and somehow tend to keep my cool! I am a good communicator, mature, trustworthy, honest, reliable, nurturing, compassionate, loving, patient, friendly, kind, humorous, easygoing, proactive, energetic, and creative. I care very much for nature and the environment, enjoy a healthy life style (e.g. I do not smoke) and am very affectionate with pets. I put my all into the babies, toddlers and children under my care. I positively impact their lives: being a good role model, seizing the opportunities that present themselves to further their development and education, having fun with them, and being there for them as they face life's challenges. I also provide solid support for the parents. So, if you need a nanny, babysitter, educator or tutor who a) absolutely loves interacting with babies (including newborns), toddlers and children, b) is passionate and knowledgeable about childhood development and teaching, and c) loves to feel like a part of the family, well, here I am!

Passionate about the world of childhood, I have acquired solid experience thanks to my stays as an au pair. For three months in Spain, I looked after a 6yo boy, ensuring his well-being on a daily basis: school trips, meal preparation, games and creative activities, as well as helping with light housework. Currently in Australia for six months, I'm looking after two girls aged 3 and 11, with a more intense schedule (30-35h/week), including driving them to school and after-school activities, preparing meals and supporting their development through games and educational moments. Recently awarded a BAFA diploma, I combine pedagogy and creativity to offer children age-appropriate activities. I'm ready to invest myself fully with a family, bringing dynamism, caring and reliability.

Hello! I am a 27 year old with 3+ years experience as a baby sitter as well as experience working in a parents program assisting with young mums and their babies. I have also had experience with multiple guided reading programs assisting children with comprehension and reading I am a kind and encouraging babysitter who enjoys getting creative, assisting with homework or other tasks as well as keeping busy and completing any other household tasks I can assist with to make the week that bit easier.

Hey guys, I'm Johnny - born and raised in Sydney. I work a FT corporate role professionally but would love to do some babysitting on the side (my work hours are flexible so this can be discussed further). I love supporting kids as they grow and learn, especially during their early developmental years. While my main caring background is in disability support, many of the key skills like patience, empathy, and clear communication are the same. I'm kind, reliable, and believe in working collaboratively with both children and families to create a positive environment. Happy to discuss the role in-person to make sure it's the right fit for the both of us.
